Primary Identifier | MGI:1337096 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 19823 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable NEDD8 ligase activity; cullin family protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic mitochondrial changes; brain development; and intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to oxidative stress. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human RNF7 (ring finger protein 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display complete embryonic lethality during organogenesis with defects in angiogenesis, widespread apoptosis, impaired cell cycle progression of neuronal precursors and embryonic growth retardation.
